Corrosion and wear protective composition modulated alloy coatings based on ternary Ni-P-X alloys

Scattered reporting in the litterature describes a number of ternary Ni-P-X alloyes (where X can be Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Pd, Re or W) with promising corrosin and wear protective performance. Based on a systematic study of Ni-P-X alloys it is the intention to produce coatings with improved corrosion and wear performance compared with conventional coatings like electroless nickel, hard chromioum and anodised aluminium.
